A Ko-fi shop listing is a tile with price type

The shop SKU is the item tile: name, price, product still. Seedream holds the letters. A Gumroad cover (already a post) is a different marketplace crop. Do not generate a cinematic 'support me' host.

A Ko-fi shop listing is a small rectangle in a grid: item name, a price a buyer will actually pay, a still of the file or the object. Buyers scan tiles. If the letters melt, the listing is invisible. If you generated a thank-you film and posted a frame from it, you posted a random frame, not a shop SKU.

The shop SKU is the item tile

Ko-fi’s shop object is the item card: title, price, a pack or UI still. The letters are the product as much as the screenshot is. A cinematic desk with unreadable spines is a mood, not a listing. A “support me” portrait is a patronage ask, not a shop tile.

Photograph or export the real artefact — the PDF first page, the sticker sheet, the file you actually ship. That still can sit inside the layout. Do not ask a video model to invent the artefact and crop second four.

Quote the live strings. The item name has to match the shop field. The price has to match checkout. A prettier generated total is a lie the buyer will see in one tap.

Generate an image from text is the named still job. The agent asks style, aspect, and count, then picks an image model — or the one you name. Priced per model, shown before you confirm. A tile that started as Veo is a trailer still with trailer letters. Run the same job from text-to-image when you already know the row.

Seedream 5 Pro holds the letters

Seedream 5.0 Pro is ByteDance's flagship text-to-image row: deep-thinking prompt understanding, native text rendering in 14 languages, precise control over dense layouts and structured designs. 7 credits. Category text-to-image. audio is unset because this is not a clip.

That is the shop-tile row. You need the title and the price to survive at a hundred pixels wide. Seedream's job here is the letters and the grid, not a lifestyle photograph of a creator who does not exist.

Prompt the layout, not a film: item title large, price line, the real artefact in a defined panel, flat background, no host. Paste the exact strings. If the product still is already approved, composite it after Seedream letters the frame. Iterate until every word matches the Ko-fi title field and the live price. Then stop. Sell the item, not an implied income from supporters.

A Gumroad cover is a different marketplace crop

A Gumroad cover is Seedream layout, not a product trailer already owns that marketplace’s rectangle. Do not twin it. Ko-fi’s shop card is a different crop and a different price field. Rebuild the tile for this shop. Reuse the artefact still — not the other platform’s cover file.

Ideogram V4 is the other catalog still for posters, logos, and crisp text: 6 credits, text-to-image. Use it when the Ko-fi tile is closer to a one-word badge than a multi-panel shop card. Six credits is not “cheaper Seedream.” If Seedream's dense grid is the brief, stay on Seedream.

Do not run both and average them. Two lettering models on one listing is how you ship two titles. Pick the row, lock the type, export PNG. Neither row is a generate of the file inside the listing. Hold the real first page in the layout or drop the screenshot in after.

Do not generate a cinematic support-me host

A talking “creator” thanking the viewer, pointing at a fake tip jar, or explaining why to click buy is a constructed presenter selling a purchase. You do not need that mouth. The tile already is the CTA. If a human must speak, it is a real named seller on a different day, on a file that is not pretending to be the shop card.

Digital product sellers convert by showing the artefact — a template scrolling, a preset applied. That page is the person and the product in use. This page is the Ko-fi shop tile in front of it. Do not twin the walkthrough as a second listing, and do not twin a patronage host as the shop SKU.

Do not generate an eight-second “support me” unboxing and upload frame three as the shop image. Do not prompt Veo to “hold on a title card” and call the result Seedream. Do not put the price in a video model and hope the glyphs match checkout. Cover on Gumroad is that marketplace’s dense still. Shop on Ko-fi is this marketplace’s tile with price type. A trailer is later, optional, never a substitute for the card.

FAQ

Can I screenshot a Veo “support me” clip and use that as the Ko-fi shop image?

No. That frame is a trailer still. The letters will not match the listing title, the price will not match checkout, and the object will be a cousin of the file you sell. Run Seedream 5.0 Pro or Ideogram V4 for the tile.

Why not reuse a Gumroad cover as the Ko-fi listing?

Different marketplace crop. Gumroad already has its own cover post. Ko-fi’s shop card has its own price field and grid. Reuse the artefact still. Rebuild the type for this shop.

Should I put the live price in the generate or overlay it later?

Quote it in Seedream if the tile is the price type and you will proof every glyph at 100%. If the number changes often, typeset a stable name-and-artefact tile and burn the live price as overlay on any motion file. Do not leave a stale total in a generate you cannot edit.

Is the agent going to pick Veo if I say “make a Ko-fi listing”?

Not if you send it to generate an image from text and name an image model. A video generate is a different capability. A shop listing is a still. Say so.
